We feature all the goodies that the Johnson Family's Great-Grandmother (known as Mama to the family) made for them.
At Mama's Farmhouse we like to do things differently than most all-you-can-eat restaurants. We serve our food family style, which means no buffet lines for you to stand in. We bring a portion of each of our items on the menu that day to your table for you to try.
Want more of something? No problem, tell your server and they will bring another serving. It's all you can eat so tell them to keep it coming! This approach gives you fresher food and less waste if you don't want another serving of something.
